Michael Beasley

Miami Heat, NBA

Michael Beasley was supposed to be a surefire, can’t-miss NBA prospect. The Miami Heat haven’t missed, it’s just that the franchise hit on what looks more like Troy Murphy than Carmelo Anthony.

The most disconcerting part of his rookie season has been that of all the prospects in the 2008 NBA Draft, Beasley was considered the one to be the most NBA-ready.

So far, Beasley has been a pedestrian contributor. After being an absolute monster on the glass in college, Michael Beasely is averaging just over five rebounds a game -- and that’s on a team that could desperately use his rebounding prowess.

Beasley isn’t a bust, but considering Mario Chalmers has been the most impressive rookie on the Heat so far, he doesn’t look like he’ll be the superstar everyone expected.
